County officials say the Bruce family has agreed to sell the Bruce's Beach property in Manhattan Beach back to Los Angeles County for nearly $20 million
In a heartfelt ceremony, Los Angeles County completed the historic land return of Bruce’s Beach by handing the deed to its rightful Black heirs.
A county team that worked alongside an attorney for the Bruce family conducted an economic analysis to determine the value of the property. The county maintains a lifeguard training facility on the property. Since the property was transferred last summer, the county had been leasing it from the Bruces for $413,000 a year.
Board of Supervisors Chair Janice Hahn said in a statement Tuesday that the family decided to sell within that two-year-period. Attorney George Fatheree, who represents the family in the transfer, said in an interview with host Tavis Smiley on KBLA-AM radio that the sale was not unexpected and represented a “positive development” for the family.
“My clients were essentially robbed of their birthright. They should have grown up part of a hospitality dynasty rivaling the Marriotts and the Hiltons,” he said. “The return of the property and the ability to sell the property and take the funds and invest it in a way that is important to their lives represents an important opportunity for my clients to have a piece of that.
